WWE star Cody Rhodes knows he’s closer to the end of his wrestling career than the beginning. However, he does not intend to hang up his boots for a few more years.
As revealed “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” Rhodes is eyeing 2032 or 2033 for his official in-ring retirement.
“I just signed my last contract“I say the last contract, but it’s going to be a while, and if I can do what I’ve been able to do, because I’d like it to be not just one movie this year, but maybe two movies, and I’d like at some point to be able to share that and make it and be in it. With all that said, my time with WWE could be gone. I mean, just to give you a real answer here, and not political around you, probably seven years. Six, seven … Yes, six, seven years. I would say so. I don’t want to say that in the final sense. I just know I don’t want to overstay my welcome.”
Rhodes, 41, made his professional wrestling debut in 2006, the same year he signed a developmental contract with WWE. He made his major league debut the following year against Randy Orton, his future mentor at Legacy.
Rhodes is a three-time world champion in the company until 2026, currently feuding with Orton on “WWE SmackDown.” Orton he aims to wrestle at least until he’s 50. Based on Rhodes’ latest timeline, his respective retirement would make him either 47 or 48 years old.
